Chapter 144: Snatching the Armor

Unlike the aristocratic quarters, where the air was filled with elegant incense, the enclosure in the beneath the Colosseum was perennially stenched with feces and blood.

"Hurry up!"

An ugly and vicious servant walked in front of him with the shackles he was wearing in Gollum's hand, followed by two elite guards of level 40 and the butler named Xisen who had received Lin Xiao before.

"Hessen, I don't think the armor this guy is wearing is bad, isn't it even better than the one I'm wearing?"

An elite guard named Martin looked curiously at the unusual orc in front of him, his eyes full of greed.

"Strip him naked for me later? If the one it wears is really better than mine, it might as well change it so that it doesn't go to waste. ”

Hissen couldn't help but smile as he listened to Martin's words.

"The things on this slave are also the private property of that nobleman, and you changed it without permission, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Martin has a level of 40 and is considered to be the best among the arena security personnel.

Although his position is not as good as that of Hissen, in terms of his status in the Colosseum, it is not low at all.

After all, it wasn't enough to subdue a manic slave with a mouthful butler like Hissen and the heavy shackles he wore on Gollum.

"It's not easy to find a piece of armor that looks similar in appearance?"

Martin grinned.

"Wait until tomorrow when this guy is smashed by a demonic beast, where can I tell who is who?"

"Hmph, whatever you want, but this has nothing to do with me."

Although he was a little jealous of Lin Xiao, Xisen didn't want to get into trouble with an elite guard like Martin because of such a trivial matter.

Most of the nobles who brought their own slaves to the Colosseum did not expect the slaves they brought to live long.

Many people's thoughts are similar to setting off fireworks, which is to make a sound.

It's more interesting to watch your own slaves fight in the field than to watch a bunch of unrelated people fight around.

Therefore, Xi Sen didn't think that Lin Xiao would care about his slave being changed for armor.

"Here we are."

Through the layers of iron doors, everyone finally came to a cage of about 100 square meters.

The cage contained more than a dozen orc slaves.

Most of them held the iron fence with a blank look on their faces, staring blankly at the new "companion".

"Ted, give me a hand, get his armor off, and invite you to drink later."

Gollum has shackles on his hands, and in order to take off his armor, he must first remove the shackles.

This kind of operation is undoubtedly risky.

If, after the shackles are removed, the orcs suddenly go berserk, they will need to be subdued by force.

It stands to reason that Martin's level is level 40 and he has the title of "Elite", so he should be able to deal with a half-orc berserker with a level of only 35.

But in order to take off the orc's armor as soon as possible, Martin called his companion.

Elite Guardian Ted naturally understood what his friend meant, and immediately stepped forward and pressed Gollum's shoulder.

As the minions unchained them, Martin kicked Gollum's knee socket as well.

He wanted to kick the orc to his knees, so that he could condescendingly take off his armor.

But something unexpected happened.

Gollum, who had a solid kick in his knee socket, not only did not kneel down, but instead shocked Martin upside down and flew out.

"What? How is this possible? ”

Even Ted, who was holding Gollum's shoulder, was slapped on the chest with his backhand and slammed into the stone wall behind him.

"Grass! This guy has a quirk! ”

Martin, who was barely standing up, had a fierce look in his eyes, and the look in his eyes that looked at Gollum no longer had the disdain he had before.

"Martin, let's call for reinforcements and bring the shackles back first!"

Ted clutched his aching chest, looking a little anxious.

Removing the shackles of slaves without permission is already taboo in the Colosseum, and now calling for reinforcements can also find an excuse to prevaricate the past, if you really let this out-of-control orc rush out, things will be a big problem!

"No! You let someone else come, why do you want that armor from him? ”

"Alas, okay, listen to your ......"

Seeing that Martin did not give up, Ted had no choice but to cheer up and take off the stainless steel shield on his back.

"Fourth-Order Martial Technique, 'Stun Heavy Attack'!"

The shield in his hand erupted with a white light that slammed into Gollum, who was standing still.

Ted's advanced class is the Shield Swordsman.

As the "Shield Swordsman" with the highest defense of all melee advanced classes, he also has great control.

Stun, slow, attack weakened......

Controls and debuffs like these can make enemies feel like they're stuck in a quagmire in a fight with the Shield Swordsman.

However, the set of "hand-crafted armor" that Lin Xiao gave to Gollum was a passive skill with "maximum resistance to ailments".

"Maximize Ailment Resistance" is not completely immune to control and negative effects, but it can also reduce the stun duration of the fourth-order martial art "Stun Heavy Attack" to less than half a second.

Gollum, who was hit by the shield, was only slightly stunned, and then roared and smashed his fist into Ted's shield.

"Pro Stunt, 'Absolute Defense'!"

Seeing the faint sound of wind and thunder in the punch thrown by Gollum, Ted was so frightened that he hurriedly used his professional skills that could only be used three times a day.

"Absolute Defense" can reduce the damage taken by the shield swordsman by 90% next time, which can be regarded as the best in the defense class stunts.

"Bang!"

The fists and shields struck, and a circle of qi burst out in the air.

Gollum didn't move, but Ted took a few steps back.

"Martin, are you alright?"

Feeling the terrifying attack power of the orcs, Ted's heart was chilling.

He knew very well that if it weren't for the "absolute defense" that reduced ninety percent of the damage in Gollum's punch, he would probably have to be seriously injured.

"How can this half-orc be so strong? Isn't it only level 35? ”

Of course, Ted didn't understand how strong a level 35 orc would be when there was a big guy whose level was displayed as a series of "question marks" behind him.

Just as the shield swordsman Ted was about to face the next punch attack of the half-orc, Martin, who had been preparing an attack on the sidelines, made a move.

His advanced class is the Rapier Fighter.

Martin, who wields a rapian, is not good at defense, but in terms of attack and speed, he is far superior to Ted, who wields a shield.

In addition to its large attack range, Raillette Fighter is also very good at inflicting ailments such as "Bleeding", "Weakness", and "Defense Reduction" on enemies.

Although most of the anomalous effects Martin inflicts on Gollum are also offset by "Maximize Ailment Resistance", his advantage is the wide range of his weapon's attack.

Holding a pair of slender double swords, he is bullying Gollum with his bare hands and no weapons.

"Fifth-Order Martial Technique, 'Double-edged Sword Dance'!"

Sword flowers waved in his hands, like a large net composed of sword lights, and soon stabbed blood flowers on the orc's body.

However, to Martin's shock, his attack seemed to have caused only a few skin wounds to the enemy in front of him, and was far from enough to subdue him.

"Ted, help me top it again!"

Using the "Double Bladed Sword Dance" takes a while to charge, and after a round of sword dance casting, Martin immediately ducks behind Ted again.

"Looks like we're going to need to spend a little more time with him."

In Martin's mind, this orc, though ridiculously strong, was not difficult to deal with.

He had neither weapons nor supplies, and only a few more sword dances of his own would make it incapacitated.

"Hey, when it's over, you're going to have to compensate me!"

"That's, that's ......"

At this moment, Martin and Ted have not yet realized the seriousness of their problem.

The series of "performances" of the two of them can actually be regarded as part of Lin Xiao's plan.
